Zero waste - W.A.L.T reuse, reduce, recycle

W.A.L.T construct a model from the story, 'Rubbish does not exist'.

Scott and Aimen have read the story, 'Rubbish does not exist'. Their mission is to complete an analysing activity by constructing a model from the story. Since the story was about a teacher using oranges for an experiment, they decided to use the oranges from the story and make orange juice. Great thinking guys.
